Aubrey Phillips may be the biggest player in the 2009 recruiting class and he could also be one of the biggest names to sign with the 'Noles this year. The 6-foot-6, 327-pound left tackle comes to FSU from Olive Branch, Mississippi, ready to protect Christian Ponder and E.J. Manuel over the next few years. But for now, the four-star lineman is going to work on his game and learn the Seminole Way before he starts vying for a starting role.

"I'm just ready to keep working on and get ready to go," said Phillips. "I talked to Coach (Rick) Trickett yesterday. He was asking if I was working out and running and I said yes. He said to keep doing that. He said he doesn't have a second string left tackle. That's the position I want to stay at."
